Recite Article of Faith 1
There is a God. Read Alma 30:44. Many people in the world today try to teach us that there is not a God. Prophets have taught us that there is a God and that He is the almighty ruler of the universe.
What do we know about our Heavenly Father?
(For older children, look up and read the scriptures. For younger children, use pictures and teach each principle.)
1. God dwells in heaven (D&C 20:17)
2. God created all things (Mosiah 4:9, Moses 2:1)
3. God has a body that looks like ours (D&C 130:22, Moses 6:9) (God’s body however is perfected and glorified, with a glory beyond all description)
4. God knows all things (Abraham 3:18-19, Alma 26:35)
5. God loves his children (John 3:16)
6. God is unchanging (Mormon 9:9)
7. God has all power (Alma 26:35)
8. God hears our prayers (Alma 37:37),
9. Everything good comes from God (Alma 5:40)
10. Everything that he does is to help his children become like him (Moses 1:39)
Why is knowing God so important? The more we know God, the more we love him and keep his commandments (1 John 2:3). By keeping his commandments we can become like him. When we become like him, we can have eternal life and live with him.
**I am still learning! Can anyone tell me how I can add a link of the pictures that I am going to use so that I don't have to post them all??
